I find myself struggling with the opposite of writer’s block lately. It’s the sort of catch-22 when there’s so much out there to comment on, you don’t quite know where to begin. Media literacy is vital to the activist’s tool box, but in a media driven culture it’s exhausting to keep up with the outrage.

April comes and goes quickly in the world of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This year was particularly exciting as new voices, allies and partners helped to spread the word about SAAM. To close out this year’s campaign, it’s time to look back at an amazing month of activities and look forward with a vision for what’s ahead.

This month the Your Voice, Our Future series continues on the SAAM Blog with a guest post from Martha Marin and George Pritzker of 1in6, Inc. Today’s post discusses supporting male survivors of childhood sexual abuse on college campuses.
